Just an observation on the 6.5 Creedmore and the much publicised long range capabilities.
DISCLAIMER: I do not have a 6.5mm anything.....and the only .308 I have is a 7.62mm FAL. My smallest hunting rifle caliber is the good old .30-06

At least amongst my more wild eyed Colorado friends and acquaintances that are totally enamored by the 6.5 Creedmore paired with a ballistic compensating scope as a long range cartridge, there is (to me) a disturbing trend of thought that the cartridge is THE newest hot setup for shooting at Elk size game at 800, 900, 1000 yards.
I wish this were not so; I'm guessing such foolishness and bravado is going to result in more wounded and lost game.

Just my 2 cents....
